Police are hunting for a possible murder suspect after a man was killed after being struck by a car downtown.
At about 3am, officers responded to the scene on Adelaide St., just west of Victoria. A driver had allegedly run the man down before fleeing the scene, possibly in an SUV.
The victim was rushed to hospital in critical condition, but died during surgery.
There are reports the victim was involved in an altercation before he was hit, but detectives would only say they suspect the incident was deliberate.
The case is being investigated as a homicide.
